Ingame Name: rubato/ rubato [eng/ger/nl]

SteamID: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198037227175

Who Banned You: Nate

Reason For Ban: Posted "gaymaletube.com" in chat in response to troll

Length of Ban: Forever

Reason for Admins to Unban:  I was responding to some troll named Frank who was facing an imminent ban for sitting and repeating the same questions and trolling for like 10 minutes straight. He was asking where he could download the css models to remove the purple and black pixels and we were all so annoyed, people spammed the link to the store to buy the CSS game and I just posted a link to that porn website and said "download it here". I didn't know simply posting the link would get me banned but I'm otherwise a frequent member of the server and it's the only ttt server I play on and would enjoy being back and playing with everyone as it's a cool community. Talk to Coco or Embry or voidzzz, they know I've become a semi-regular and I otherwise behave. 

Have you been banned before (Link relevant threads): Nope

Other:

I think this was just a super stupid genuine mistake by rubato. I know these links are genuinely not tolerated, and it should be common sense to not post them as well, I'm not excusing what rubato posted either. He was trying to troll in response to someone who was trolling already for 30 mins at this point, and made this stupid mistake clearly. Rubato is not problematic by ANY means, has 0 warns and I've never once had a problem with him, always super duper friendly to the community etc. I do think this is an instance where his background as a player should be considered, rubato is liked by those who know him and he's not a troublemaker. Nobody was harmed by the link, nor was nobody intended to be, it was all meant to be a joke. I'm+1 for an unban, rubato explained the situation as is and I don't expect any more of an explanation or apology.

Thanks for such a genuine message man, I appreciate it. I enjoy your company on the server, hope to be back soon lol <3

Posting porn links in chat is really sus at best but your honesty in the situation is somewhat commendable. I mean, come on, you should know better than post porn links in a server where minors could be present (and are staff, haha). I think the best scenario would be a reduction rather than a full unban. Maybe like a month at most should be your full sentence. I don't have any problems with you on server and you are a fun person to play with and I'm being as unbiased as possible in my vote.


-1 to a full unban
+1 to a reduction to a 1 month ban at most.

I'm not even lying when I say I didn't think about there being minors who play, which makes what I did even dumber. I'll respect where you come from nonetheless but a whole month would definitely suck just to put it out there. It's a measure put in place for people to behave and to keep trolls from reoffending but I feel like I'm the kid who accidentally burnt the pizza and now the oven is being removed from the home. I should have read up on the rules in more detail, I just didn't think anything of posting a random link. I genuinely don't seek to cause trouble, I just wanna play some ttt lol : (

A perma ban??? Jesus Christ this is a kick or a warning at BEST worthy.

Mods need to recognize some obvious jokes and use some discretion here and there. Being on over policed and overzealous staff member sucks just as much as a person breaking the rules.

+1 unban and for staff to relax a little

I made the ban, but I support an unban. Rules are rules and I wanted to avoid accusations of favoritism and such, since that has been an issue on server as of late. Nobody was harmed or offended, and I think it was just a dumb mistake. I've never seen R cause any issues on the server and I assume he is pretty unproblematic. He has 0 warns and is very friendly. He just made a dumb joke without thinking of the consequences. +1 for full unban

He had asked other staff whether it was perma ban worthy or not. If you want to call it overzealous, go ahead. I just think this is a little unfair to assume that it was being "too strict" when they were following the guidelines. Yeah, it doesn't state it, but that's why the question was brought up to other staff members. Just thought I criticize this comment real quick, but thank you for the input!

Otherwise, I've never seen you, but should be common sense to not post it. I'm willing to support a(n) reduction or unban, whatever the admins decide on the matter. Just remember to watch what you put and say in the server next time + read up on the rules. +1 :)

I personally don't support posting links to porn on games children play as "obvious jokes", but you do you.

That being said I agree with the others that this was a case of trolling taken too far as opposed to a malicious act. I've played a bit with the OP for some time and he hasn't really caused too much of an issue when playing.

+1 unban or reduction
